No, cuz that was concerning
Right?
Maybe MC is adopted
i interpreted as something like Mc's moxie was inherited from her mother and The mother sees that trait in her child thats why she feels "unnecessarily proud" cuz lets be honest her mother is also a girlboss gatekeeping queen
maybe in the mother's head it somethingg like Although it's a good trait that the daughter has its another thing if that attitude is towards her (mother)
Worrying about this part here:
"I feel unnecessarily proud because I'm afraid she's not my daughter."
Did the mother said it because of her pride and fear or does it mean literally like what it is?
